GSG Newsletter | June 2025 Edition Welcoming a Visionary: Dr. Mark Roseland Joins GSG & The Power of Audio-Led Insight

We are thrilled to share a milestone moment for Global Solutions Group (GSG). After a deeply inspiring weekend of conversation, reflection, and shared purpose—on a beach where the waves echoed our vision for resilient systems—we are honored to welcome Dr. Mark Roseland as Co-Founder and Chief Vision Officer of GSG. Mark is a world-renowned leader in sustainable development, systems innovation, and transformative civic engagement. His life's work—spanning decades of scholarship, public policy, and impact-driven leadership—perfectly aligns with GSG’s mission to build adaptive, equitable, and regenerative global supply chains.

“Your alignment with our mission, goals, and values is a testament to the strength of our partnership. From systems-level thinking to pragmatic, on-the-ground action, our approaches are cut from the same cloth.” — Dr. Michael Krafft, Chairman & CEO, GSG

A New Medium for Global Impact: NotebookLM Audio-Casts

Equally exciting, we’ve begun experimenting with AI-generated audio-casts of our research papers, turning dense academic insight into engaging, accessible learning experiences. In a recent test, we used Google’s NotebookLM to create a 17-minute podcast from Dr. Krafft’s latest paper—and the results are remarkable. “It is awesome—an incredibly effective complement to the written content. Let’s think seriously about publishing or promoting this kind of work on LinkedIn and beyond.” — Dr. Mark Roseland. We see a future where audiocasts become a signature tool in GSG’s knowledge ecosystem—democratizing complex insights, empowering local leaders, and bridging the gap between research and action in emerging markets.

What’s Next?

Together with Dr. Roseland, we’re charting our next chapter:

1. Strategic Vision Session (July): Outlining our first-year milestones and research priorities.

2. Dashboard MVP: Delivering the first build of GSG’s Resilience-as-a-Service™ interface by June 20.

3. Public Announcement: Sharing Mark’s appointment and our evolving roadmap with the world.

4. Audio Series Planning: Scoping a full series of short-form audio-casts, blending thought leadership with real-world case studies.

A Closing Word of Gratitude

This moment reaffirms what we’ve believed all along: that the greatest transformations happen through shared values, radical collaboration, and grounded hope. Mark’s presence at GSG is more than a strategic win—it is a reflection of our collective commitment to a future where supply chains honor people, planet, and prosperity. We’re just getting started.
